It’s a real lack of understanding if they assume that people are only voting for her because she is black. It’s going to be a really really weak strategy

barsquid ,

Rightists are fucked in the head. They’re probably imagining how they would react if they found out one of theirs wasn’t white.

They made the same stupid assumption about Obama. Both times.

Newsmax will say anything to stay relevant, and their audience eats it up.

barsquid ,

Anything except that Dominion altered the votes. There’s one way to make them tell the truth. Well, at least make them stop telling one specific lie.

barsquid ,

Aren’t they worried that will encourage their viewers to vote for her?

Wait, so Obama is black because his father is black and now Harris isn’t black even though her father is black? Do these idiots even hear themselves?

n2burns ,

It feels like their rules are if your part minority, you’re a minority (which is how society treats people). However, you can only be a maximum of one minority in each category. Harris can be a women, but she can’t be both Indian and Black.

Their rules are you are whatever is beneficial to the propaganda web we’re currently spinning. Next week she’ll be black again.

@vanontom@lemmy.world avatar

Yup. It’s not worth any time trying to figure out their “rules”, because there are none, and they don’t need any. These deranged morons are unburdened by logic (or principles, morals, honesty, consistency). And there are entire industries now grinding out profit from the idiocy and hate. It’s just business.

Etterra ,

I think it’s more like they can’t comprehend being half black if the other half is not white. Which really gives you some insight into what they think about everybody that isn’t white. The Republican worldview on race is the same as their worldview on everything else: literally black and white.

That seems to be the general thrust, but I have seen a few not-so-bright sparks suggest that Jamaicans aren’t really black.

I even saw one person suggest that the fact that she is descended from an Irish plantation owner means she can’t be black. Which, gee, I wonder why a black person would be descended from a plantation owner?

[Whistling sound intensifies.]

TheOctonaut ,

Are you sure it was an Irish plantation owner? Most of the time Irish people in the Caribbean were working on plantations, not owning them. From what I’ve read, the person in question was a British person from Antrim - which is on the island of Ireland, but is part of the UK and was itself “plantationed” by Britain.

It would be weird for example to refer to George Orwell as Indian, Louis Theroux as Singaporean or Duke Wellington as Irish - after all, “being born in a stable does not make one a horse” as the Duke put it when ‘accused’ of being Irish.

ImADifferentBird ,
@ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Honestly, I’m just repeating what the moron said there. I have no idea if she is actually is descended from an Irish plantation owner. But even if she was, that still doesn’t make her not black. There’s a lot of black people descended from white plantation owners, and it’s not for good reasons that are beneficial to them.

Michelle Obama had white ancestors.

So we can say she’s white now, yes?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I doubt whoever is claiming that you’re not black if you’re descended from a white plantation owner and black people really cares whether or not it’s genealogically accurate.

someguy3 ,

No you see he wasn’t black, he was just born in Kenya, and many people are born in Kenya, you don’t have to be black to be born in Kenya, i have many friends born in Kenya, Ok I’m done /s.

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I think we need to talk about how Obama is white. It both uses their own stupid so-called logic against them and would seriously piss them off.

Iapar ,

That is a childish accusation.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

No, children are smarter than that. They’ll look at her and tell this Newsmax idiot that she’s black.

thisbenzingring ,

She went to a historic black college and joined a black sorority… But sure, question her history on representing her black heritage

Oh my god, she knew she was going to run for president before she went to college! 12D chess!

  1. She laughs.
  2. She hugs people.
  3. She’s pretending to be black.
  4. She’s black.

Accusing a black woman of doing blackface is fucking weird.

Apytele , (edited )

I’ve seen people make blackface accusations over tanning spray and charcoal blackhead masks.

Just today I got accused of transphobia again (on a different site) because somebody didn’t like my own lived experiences with the intersection between my transness and my exploration of non-judeo-christian spirituality.

Like, I’ve had surgery to remove gendered parts. Twice. And I get called transphobic all. the. time. I literally just can’t with that entire community they’re so fucking detached from the rest of society in their little insular bubble where they take every single little thing waaay too seriously such that half the shit they say makes 0 sense. They’re so hung up on people they barely know following every single linguistic rule they made up in their little bubble and conceptualizing their gender in all its aspects exactly the same way they do that they’re impossible to deal with.

My nibling who just came out themselves had a nasty breakup because the other person insisted that the way they were cuddling them was misgendering them. Just completely unhinged.

I just want people to not give a a shit about my gender and I’m happy. You mind your business I’ll mind mine. But god forbid I say that I can’t personally empathize with the concept of gender at all. Apparently being surgically confirmed nonbinary isn’t enough to have my own experiences and feelings about my gender or lack thereof.

Being trans isn’t in itself a mental illness but I’ve definitely noticed a trend of trauma from the wider societal nonacceptance leading to a much higher incidence of mental illnesses in that community. That plus the missing elders that died during the AIDs crisis has left a huge number of LGBT kids just absolutely fucking feral ffs.

Sorry this got off topic but yeah anyway I’m turning into an old person at an alarming rate. I wish I had a trans community of people to spend time with who weren’t fucking insane, but we can’t always get what we want (which is a lesson a LOT of those people need to learn).

Don’t care where you come from
As long as you’re a black man
You’re an African
No mind your nationality
You have got the identity of an African

'Cause if you come from Clarendon

And if you come from Westmoreland
You’re an African

No mind your nationality
You’ve got the identity of an African

'Cause if you come Trinidad
And if you come from Nassau
And if you come from Cuba
You’re an African

No mind your complexion
There is no rejection
You’re an African

'Cause if your plexion
High If your complexion low, low, low
And if your plexion in between
You’re an African

No mind denomination
That is only segregation
You’re an African

Cause if you go to the Catholic
And if you go to the Methodist
And if you go to the Church of Gods
You’re an African

No mind your nationality
You have got the identity of an African

'Cause if you come from Brixton
And if you come from Weesday
And if you come from Wingstead
And if you come from France

I know we don’t do I objective viewpoints point on here, but there is a difference between thinking that it is okay to do blackface in the context of a movie or a play and accusing Harris of pretending to be black.

I don’t agree with either of those points, but it’s silly to pretend they are the same.

eestileib ,

Yeah we all know being black is the fast track to being elected president.
